Malwarebytes iOS Mobile Security: Limited Open Beta Available for Testing

[kbrauser]

Hello Malwarebytes Beta community,

Hope everyone is doing well! I'm excited to announce that we have released a beta build of our next generation consumer protection and privacy product! If you are interested in participating in beta testing Malwarebytes for iOS, look no further!  

This Malwarebytes for iOS beta offers full functionality, allowing you to thoroughly test it on one device without any purchases required. If you're not interested in running pre-release software, which may differ from the final version and might not have a polished user interface, this program may not be suitable for you.

Available to you now... Malwarebytes - Mobile Security build 5.0.0 (1593), which combines Malwarebytes - Mobile Security and Malwarebytes Privacy VPN into one unified application experience. Please be aware that this is a limited open beta, meaning that only the first 1,000 beta testers who install through the TestFlight link below will be granted access to test the app.

To Install The Beta:

1. Open the following link on your iOS device: https://testflight.apple.com/join/3jvaSuyE

Oooooo I’m interested in this as I have the VPN.

Yesterday I've downloaded Malwarebytes through TestFlight and I've started the test, thank you 🙏

But, probably, I made a little mistake: while visiting all the app sections, I just tested all the settings in the "My Subscriptions" area, included the one which allows you to connect the app to your My Malwarebytes account and, thinking it wouldn't have worked in my case, since Malwarebytes for iOS is not officially available in my country yet (I'm from Italy), I tried to enter my profile credentials and they've been accepted 😱

Now my iPhone appears in my My Malwarebytes account, listed under the Premium + VPN account that I've chosen to activate when I've installed the beta 😰

Is this a problem? If so, how can I fix it?

I've already tried to delete and reinstall the app and to remove the license from my My Malwarebytes account, but it didn't work 😕

Thank you so much for helping test the iOS Beta! 

Please rest assured that this is expected behavior. This beta version has simulated In-App Purchases, which allows you to subscribe to any subscription plan for FREE. However, any subscription purchase it will be limited to 1 day of use only for testing purposes. This means your Premium + VPN subscription purchase will expire at the end of each day. 

Your Malwarebytes account should not be a problem. However, if you need additional support please do not hesitate to let us know here.

All the best, 

Kirsten
